Internet Governance 2010: Future Of The IGF, Competition Among Institutions 
[sub req'd]
The future design of the United Nations Internet Governance Forum (IGF), the 
role of the UN International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in internet 
governance and the ability of ICANN to resolve issues from new generic 
top-level domains to further internationalisation - these are the top policy 
issues in internet governance in 2010 and they are all linked to the question 
about how many governments and how much “multi-stakeholderism“ effective 
internet governance needs.

Public Comment Requested on Draft 2010-2013 Strategic Plan
As the next element of consultation on the Strategic Plan, ICANN invites 
comments from the community on a first draft of the plan based on material 
presented to the community at the Seoul meeting. In particular, we are seeking 
the views of the community on the following issues:
http://icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-01dec09-en.htm

Bulk Transfer of Hosting365 Inc. Domains to Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd.
ICANN has authorized a bulk transfer of Hosting365 Inc.’s gTLD domain names to 
Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd., due to a compliance action taken by ICANN 
that resulted in the de-accreditation of registrar Hosting365 Inc.

China, a Country which has turned into a Rogue State
The recent incidents that have indicated that the Chinese Government is behind 
attacks on the Indian Prime Minsiter’s Office, trying to steal sensitive 
information is yet another indication that China poses a serious risk to the 
Global order through its pursuance of the “Cyber Super Power” doctrine. ... As 
a part of this strategy, India should move for isolation of China from Cyber 
Space by working thorugh ICANN so that China is prevented from tapping into any 
Internet data from outside its borders without surveillance from the global 
alliance.

Situation in Haiti and the DNS - .HT domain continues to function by Kim Davies
We have received a lot of communication concerning the devastation in Haiti, 
particularly its impact on Internet function and the .HT top-level domain. Here 
are the basic facts:
http://blog.icann.org/2010/01/haiti/

.HT ccTLD Continues to Function Despite Impact of Earthquake
Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti this week telecommunication 
services have been hit hard, like all other aspects of infrastructure. However 
writing on the ICANN blog, Kim Davies says the .HT ccTLD has largely continued 
to function.
http://goldsteinreport.com/article.php?article=10099
http://www.domainpulse.com/2010/01/16/ht-cctld-continues-to-function-despite-impact-of-haiti-earthquake/

Haiti Top Level Domain Mostly Functional
In the wake of earthquakes in Haiti, the country’s top level domain name 
remains functional with some limitations, ICANN reported on its blog today.
http://domainnamewire.com/2010/01/14/haiti-top-level-domain-mostly-functional/

FCCN makes .PT more secure and is among the first ccTLDs in the world to use 
DNSSEC
At the very beginning of 2010, the FCCN (Foundation for National Scientific 
Computing), the entity that manages the DNS system for attributing domain names 
on the Internet under .PT, signed the .PT top-level domain using the DNSSEC 
standard, joining Portugal to the small group of countries that have adopted 
this standard for their top-level domains. The DNSSEC standard consists of 
security extensions to the DNS protocol, thereby introducing security 
mechanisms that enable a number of the main problems in this area to be 
resolved.

.PT Signed with DNSSEC
At the beginning of 2010, the FCCN signed the .PT ccTLD with DNSSEC and we 
would therefore like to inform all those whose domains are delegated under .PT 
about any possible impacts and potential consequences of this signing. The 
DNSSEC consists of a series of security extensions to the DNS protocol which 
now enable data in a DNS zone to have a digital signature, enabling the end 
customer to authenticate this data and its origin.

Saudi Arabia: 300,000 Requests to Block Websites Annually
Dammam, Asharq Al-Awsat- There are between 700 and 1000 requests from internet 
users to block websites in Saudi Arabia per day, a source at the Communications 
and Information Technology Commission (CITC) told Asharq Al-Awsat. An average 
of 850 requests per day means that there are 300,000 requests annually. The 
same source confirmed that over 93 percent of blocked websites are pornographic.

Trung Nguyen Coffee Company discovered that the Hinchliffe Trust Company had 
already registered the domain. This domain leads to a website distributing 
Highland Coffee products by Vietnam-based Viet Thai International Company.

WHOIS Privacy Considered “Material Falsification”: A recent decision by the 
Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit
A recent decision by the Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit has determined 
that using WHOIS privacy on domains may be considered “material falsification” 
under federal law. The defendants in US v. Kilbride (9th Cir., 2009) were 
convicted under the CAN-SPAM Act in a case that involved criminal charges of 
intentional email spamming. Enacted by the US Congress in 2003, the CAN-SPAM 
Act prohibits false or misleading transmission information, deceptive headers, 
and requires email solicitations to give an easy opt-out method and be labeled 
as an advertisement, including the senders physical post address. Commercial 
emails that use false or misleading headers, or violate other CAN-SPAM 
provisions, such as falsified registration information, are subject to fines of 
up to $11,000 for each unsolicited email sent.

Cybersquatting - walka o domeny
Rejestrowanie nazw domen o brzmieniu identycznym lub podobnym do nazw 
popularnych marek, aby następnie odsprzedać je z dużym zyskiem lub wykorzystać 
do celów reklamowych - to coraz częściej występujący i rozwijany rodzaj 
nadużycia internetowego, określany jako cybersquatting. Problem ten jest o tyle 
groźny, że może powodować nie tylko straty wynikające z utraty potencjalnych 
klientów, którzy nigdy nie trafią do oryginalnej witryny firmy, lecz także 
nieodwracalnie zepsuć reputację marki.

ICANN今年计划推出大量顶级域名,包括.jazz、.sport、.food等,目前该机构正就要求申请新顶级域名组织采用预注册流程的方案听取公众反馈。如果该方案获批,申请顶级域名的组织需要提交新顶级域名的竞拍申请,并在提供完整申请前预存5.5万美元,即可完成预注册流程。新流程最早将于今年6月份开始实施。
